How can you take the best team in the league and make them better? By adding last year's second high average bowler and a previous Match Point leader, that's how.

Personnel: Pepper is your lead off bowler (178). Following him rooted insecond is Leon (188) Sojka, the lone returnee of the defending champions, is in third (208), and your high averaged bowler in the form of Martinez is in anchor (214).

Outlook: Martinez was your second high average bowler in last year's league - second to Sojka, while Pepper won the Match Points title in 1999. They replace Scott Koenig and Jim Smykal, while Leon repaces the wounded in action Pat Rudolf. Despite all of the changes, the team actually has a lower average than last year. The question with new people, as always, is how quickly can they gel, but Pepper has already bowled on the same team as Martinez 2 years ago, and if they can gel with the rest of the team, Team 16 can take first place for the second straight year.

Interesting match-up vs: RAD Plumbing.-
This is one of those teams that they will actually be getting pins from. How will they be able to handle that?
